Plot: The story of Panamanian general Manuel Antonio 'Tony' Noriega, whose meteoric career, from utter poverty, as a soldier and CIA informant who also served as source to various other powers and even the Colombian drug mafia he claims to fight valiantly to please CIA director and later U.S. president Bush Sr., starts when he confesses to a priest, reminiscing how he has experienced such luck that he believes himself to be God's favorite- each time he takes more risks people tell him he went too far, but always seems to get away with it. In his marriage, he is constantly unfaithful to Felicidad 'Fela', notably with his mistress Vicky Amador. After public opinion, domestic and U.S., was scandalize by the brutal torture, rape and decapitation of generally respected Dr. Hugo Spadafora, he sees to it that the blame goes to President Nicky Barletta, only one year in office. When he feels forced to destroy a drug lab of the Medellin cartel he accepted payment from, even Fidel Castro tells him a Latino in power can offend anyone, even Washington to a point, but never the grimly serious Colombians. Next Noriega wants his military adviser Colonel Roberto Diaz-Herrera as the next stooge, but refuses him the ambassadorship in Japan -promised to a cousin of his mistress who teaches judo- so Roberto starts his own sect and talks about their sale of visas and favors to the Colombian drug lords. It gets worse when US Colonel Oliver North tells him Irangate has pulled the plug on the whole Nicaraguan Contra-program, and a Florida prosecutor is pressing charges against Noriega for his part in the drugs trades. After Noriega ordered Major Moises Giroldi to forge the presidential elections by force under the eyes of observer Jimmy Carter, and once in office plays the nationalist card to get the people behind him against Washington, Giroldi offers his services to the Yankee gringos, and mounts a military coup, but allows Noriega to gain time till the loyal Mountain Division turns up, and surrenders because the coup leaders's families are taken hostage by Noriega's police chief, only to be tortured and sodomized themselves. Finally Bush orders a U.S. military invasion: military resistance is impossible, so Noriega seeks sanctuary at the papal nunciature...

Manuel Noriega's Trial on Drug Trafficking: Black Ops, CIA, Pablo Escobar (1990)
Although the relationship did not become contractual until 1967, Noriega worked with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from the late 1950s until the 1980s. In 1988 grand juries in Tampa and Miami indicted him on U.S. federal drug charges.
The 1988 Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics and International Operations concluded: "The saga of Panama's General Manuel Antonio Noriega repre

(c)1994 Christian Broadcasting Network
This clip featured then-700 Club co-host Ben Kinchlow in the first of a two-part interview (unfortunately, I don't have the 2nd part) with former Panamanian leader, General Manuel Noriega (speaking through an interpreter).
Noriega had been a career soldier who had rapidly risen to become Panama military dictator by 1983; while having worked alongside the CIA dating back to the 1950s (though no official contract was signed between the two until 1967) owing to Noriega's opposition to Communism. By the late 1980s; relations between Noriega and the U.S. rapidly deteriorated due to Noriega's ties to the Medllin cartel (which also included Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar) and various acts of corruption via laundering money from the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (also primary CIA banker until being forced to shut down in 1991) -- a connection that got plenty of attention in the 1988 Presidential campaign (referenced in a campaign ad for then-Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis in painting then-Vice President {and former CIA director} George H.W. Bush as a failure in the War on Drugs. This also was brought up in the Democratic Convention during Sen. Ted Kennedy's "Where was George?" speech).
However, things reached a breaking point in 1989; when Carlos Dupre; a Noriega-backed candidate, was facing a challenge for the presidency of Panama from a ticket led by Guillermo Endera and vice-presidential candidates Ricardo Arias Sanchez and Guillermo "Billy" Ford. Once Endara won decisively, Noriega voided the results, claiming foreign (read American) interference tainted the result; while other observers (most notably, former President Jimmy Carter) accused Noriega of stealing the election. This was followed by Endara and Ford suffering a brutal beating at the hands of Noriega's troops (video footage of a bloodied Ford proved one of the key turning points; as the U.S. recognized Endara as the rightful Panamanian leader when Noriega' term as president expired instead of another Noriega-backed associated, Francisco Rodriguez).
This subsequently led to sanctions and ultimately, a December 1989 invasion announced by (by this time) President George H.W. Bush; ultimately (after 23 U.S. troops and 3 civilians were killed in addition to 150 Panamanian soldiers and 500 civilians were killed) led to Noriega surrendering on January 3, 1990. Noriega was eventually convicted on 8 counts of drug trafficking, racketeering and money laundering in 1992; resulting in a 40 year prison sentence (later cut to 30 years). Noriega, meanwhile, professed faith in Christ in May 1990 (while awaiting trial; this was apparently covered in the 2nd part that apparently was not recorded by my parents). The 30 year sentence was subsequently cut to 17 years, and his sentence on the U.S. charges ended in 2007. However, Gen. Noriega was extradited to France on money laundering charges there, being convicted in 2010; receiving a seven-year sentence, while also being extradited from France to Panama the next year to face human rights charges there, where to my knowledge he is still in prison there.
After the interview; Kinchlow and Pat Robertson discuss Noriega's comments in light of past CIA abuses (Noriega had spent much of the interview charging the U.S. government with stabbing him in the back); then a fact sheet was offered (apparently, CBN offered these for more details on key news stories during the 1990s before the Internet was more widespread).

This clip featured then-700 Club co-host Ben Kinchlow in the first of a two-part interview (unfortunately, I don't have the 2nd part) with former Panamanian leader, General Manuel Noriega (speaking through an interpreter).
Noriega had been a career soldier who had rapidly risen to become Panama military dictator by 1983; while having worked alongside the CIA dating back to the 1950s (though no official contract was signed between the two until 1967) owing to Noriega's opposition to Communism. By the late 1980s; relations between Noriega and the U.S. rapidly deteriorated due to Noriega's ties to the Medllin cartel (which also included Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar) and various acts of corruption via laundering money from the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (also primary CIA banker until being forced to shut down in 1991) -- a connection that got plenty of attention in the 1988 Presidential campaign (referenced in a campaign ad for then-Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis in painting then-Vice President {and former CIA director} George H.W. Bush as a failure in the War on Drugs. This also was brought up in the Democratic Convention during Sen. Ted Kennedy's "Where was George?" speech).
However, things reached a breaking point in 1989; when Carlos Dupre; a Noriega-backed candidate, was facing a challenge for the presidency of Panama from a ticket led by Guillermo Endera and vice-presidential candidates Ricardo Arias Sanchez and Guillermo "Billy" Ford. Once Endara won decisively, Noriega voided the results, claiming foreign (read American) interference tainted the result; while other observers (most notably, former President Jimmy Carter) accused Noriega of stealing the election. This was followed by Endara and Ford suffering a brutal beating at the hands of Noriega's troops (video footage of a bloodied Ford proved one of the key turning points; as the U.S. recognized Endara as the rightful Panamanian leader when Noriega' term as president expired instead of another Noriega-backed associated, Francisco Rodriguez).
This subsequently led to sanctions and ultimately, a December 1989 invasion announced by (by this time) President George H.W. Bush; ultimately (after 23 U.S. troops and 3 civilians were killed in addition to 150 Panamanian soldiers and 500 civilians were killed) led to Noriega surrendering on January 3, 1990. Noriega was eventually convicted on 8 counts of drug trafficking, racketeering and money laundering in 1992; resulting in a 40 year prison sentence (later cut to 30 years). Noriega, meanwhile, professed faith in Christ in May 1990 (while awaiting trial; this was apparently covered in the 2nd part that apparently was not recorded by my parents). The 30 year sentence was subsequently cut to 17 years, and his sentence on the U.S. charges ended in 2007. However, Gen. Noriega was extradited to France on money laundering charges there, being convicted in 2010; receiving a seven-year sentence, while also being extradited from France to Panama the next year to face human rights charges there, where to my knowledge he is still in prison there.
After the interview; Kinchlow and Pat Robertson discuss Noriega's comments in light of past CIA abuses (Noriega had spent much of the interview charging the U.S. government with stabbing him in the back); then a fact sheet was offered (apparently, CBN offered these for more details on key news stories during the 1990s before the Internet was more widespread).

Manuel Noriega, the former dictator of Panama, has broken a long silence and asked his compatriots to forgive actions by his military regime that culminated in the 1989 US invasion.
Noriega began the brief jailhouse interview with local network Telemetro by reading a handwritten statement in which he said his apology came after days of reflection with his family and members of the church.
He said he was not motivated by any personal interest but a sincere desire to bring closure to the military era, a dark chapter in Panama’s history that left the country in ruin and hundreds dead.
Noriega said, “I want to close the cycle of the military era."

Former dictator Manuel Noriega broke a long silence and asked his compatriots to forgive actions by Panama's military during his regime that culminated in the 1989 U.S. invasion.
Speaking to local network Telemetro from prison, Noriega said his apology came after days of reflection with his family and religious mentors.
The onetime CIA informant hadn't spoken to a journalist since a 1996 interview with CNN's Larry King from a Miami federal prison, where he was sent for drug trafficking after being captured by U.S. troops.
After completing his sentence in the U.S., Noriega was extradited to France to serve additional time for money laundering.
He returned to Panama in 2011 to complete a sentence for the murder of a prominent opponent during the military's 21-year rule.

Noriega is serving a 60-year sentence for murder, corruption and embezzlement during the military's three-decade rule
PANAMA CITY — Former dictator Manuel Noriega broke a long silence to ask his compatriots on Wednesday to forgive actions by his military regime that culminated in the 1989 U.S. invasion.
Noriega began the brief jailhouse interview with local network Telemetro reading a handwritten statement in which he said his apology came after days of reflection with his family and members of the church.
He said he wasn’t motivated by any personal interest but a sincere desire to bring closure to the military era, a dark chapter in Panama’s history that left the country in ruin and hundreds dead.
“Before the altar of my conscience I’ve come to express myself in the spirit of forgiveness,” Noriega said, his hand shaking but otherwise appearing in good health for his 81 years.
The onetime CIA informant hadn’t spoken to a journalist since a 1996 interview with CNN’s Larry King from a Miami federal prison, where following his capture by American troops he was sent for being a major conduit for Colombian cocaine traffickers.

Manuel Noriega's Trial on Drug Trafficking: Black Ops, CIA, Pablo Escobar (1990)

Although the relationship did not become contractual until 1967, Noriega worked with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from the late 1950s until the 1980s. In 1988 grand juries in Tampa and Miami indicted him on U.S. federal drug charges.
The 1988 Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics and International Operations concluded: "The saga of Panama's General Manuel Antonio Noriega represents one of the most serious foreign policy failures for the United States. Throughout the 1970s and the 1980s, Noriega was able to manipulate U.S. policy toward his country, while skillfully accumulating near-absolute power in Panama. It is clear that each U.S. government agency which had a relationship with Noriega turned a blind eye to his corruption and drug dealing, even as he was emerging as a key player on behalf of the Medellín Cartel (a member of which was notorious Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar)." Noriega was allowed to establish "the hemisphere's first 'narcokleptocracy'".[12] One of the large financial institutions that he was able to use to launder money was the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), which was shut down at the end of the Cold War by the FBI. Noriega shared his cell with ex-BCCI executives in the facility known as "Club Fed".
In the 1988 U.S. presidential election, Democratic candidate Michael Dukakis highlighted this history in a campaign commercial attacking his opponent, Vice President (and former CIA Director) George H. W. Bush, for his close relationship with "Panamanian drug lord Noriega."[13]
Noriega strengthened his position as de facto ruler in August 1983 by promoting himself to full general. Noriega, being paid by the CIA, extended new rights to the United States, and, despite the canal treaties, allowed the U.S. to set up listening posts in Panama. He aided the American-backed guerrillas in Nicaragua by acting as a conduit for U.S. money and, according to some accounts, weapons. However, Noriega insists that his policy during this period was essentially neutral, allowing partisans on both sides of the various conflicts free movement in Panama, as long as they did not attempt to use Panama as a base of military operations. He rebuffed requests by Salvadoran rightist Roberto D'Aubuisson to restrict the movements of leaders of the leftist Salvadoran insurgent Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front in Panama, and likewise rebuffed demands by Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North of the United States Marine Corps that he provide military assistance to the Nicaraguan Contras. Noriega insists that his refusal to meet North's demands was the actual basis for the U.S. campaign to oust him.
In October 1984, Noriega allowed the first presidential elections in 16 years. When the initial results showed former president Arnulfo Arias on his way to a landslide victory, Noriega halted the count. After brazenly manipulating the results, the government announced that the PRD's candidate, Nicolás Ardito Barletta Vallarino, had won by a slim margin of 1,713 votes. Independent estimates suggested that Arias would have won by as many as 50,000 votes had the election been conducted fairly.[8]
About this time, Hugo Spadafora, a vocal critic of Noriega who had been living abroad, accused Noriega of having connections to drug trafficking and announced his intent to return to Panama to oppose him. He was seized from a bus by a death squad at the Costa Rican border. Later, his decapitated body was found, showing signs of extreme torture, wrapped in a United States Postal Service mailing bag.[14] His family and other groups called for an investigation into his murder, but Noriega stonewalled any attempts at an investigation. Noriega was in Paris at the time of the murder, which was alleged by some to have been at the direction of his Chiriquí Province commander, Luis Córdoba.[8] A conversation captured on wiretap between Noriega (in Paris) and Córdoba included the exchange:
Córdoba: "We have the rabid dog."
Noriega: "And what does one do with a dog that has rabies?"
